These two lovely summer tops appeared in the last issue of Knitter's Magazine, Issue 106. I loved both at once, and couldn't decide between. Finally I gave in and purchased the yarn for both of them. Ty-Dy Dots for the one shown on the left: even though it is ridiculously expensive, I love the way the little dots on the yarn embellish the "dots" made by the crossed stitches. And it is Cascade Ultra Pima for the top on the right, but in rose pink. This yarn has a soft glow to it, and makes for a dressy garment. I also got some sweet little glass buttons to place where the beads are. (Click to enlarge)
